  • How L.A. Cleaned Its Air—and What It Means for Climate Policy Today

    How L.A. Cleaned Its Air—and What It Means for Climate Policy Today
    Apr 6 2026
    Los Angeles was once defined by smog that for decades choked the city with toxic haze. It obscured surrounding mountains and exposed people – especially children – to dangerous levels of lead, carbon monoxide and other pollutants. But by the early 2000s, thanks to steady public pressure and government reforms, the region’s air transformed. We talk to UCLA’s Ann Carlson about what L.A. can teach us about confronting climate change now, as the Trump administration rolls back emissions standards. Her new book is “Smog and Sunshine: The Surprising Story of How Los Angeles Cleaned Up Its Air.” Guests: Ann Carlson, professor of environmental law, UCLA School of Law; faculty co-director, Emmett Institute on Climate Change and the Environment; author, "Smog and Sunshine: The Surprising Story of How Los Angeles Cleaned Up Its Air" Learn more about your ad choices.

  • California Farmers Struggle to Weather the Agriculture Crisis

    California Farmers Struggle to Weather the Agriculture Crisis
    Apr 6 2026
    It is a tough time to be a farmer. President Trump’s tariffs last year raised many of the costs of farming and shrunk food exports. Threats of immigration raids have caused major labor shortages. And now, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has sent the price of diesel and fertilizer skyrocketing. We talk about the new pressures on an already stressed agriculture industry in California, how farmers are coping and the impact it all may have on consumers. Guests: Dan Sumner, professor of Agricultural and Resource Economics, UC Davis; director, Agricultural Issues Center for the University of California Don Cameron, vice president and general manager, Terranova Ranch; president, California State Board of Food and Agriculture Stuart Woolf, president and CEO, Woolf Farming & Processing Alexis Maxwell, senior equity analyst, Bloomberg Intelligence Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Fewer Friends, More Pressure: The State of ‘American Men’

    Fewer Friends, More Pressure: The State of ‘American Men’
    Apr 3 2026
    Journalist Jordan Ritter Conn has spent years studying some of the psychological challenges facing men in the United States. These include feelings of loneliness, depression and anxiety, sometimes violence and often a sense that this economy isn’t for them. His book “American Men” delves into the lives of four men: a West Point grad, a Black trans man in rural Ohio, a white law student recovering from childhood trauma and a gay man prone to alcohol-fueled fights. It explores the gap between the expectations placed on men and the failure, real or imagined, to meet those expectations – and why friendships between men often fail to provide the kind of emotional connections they seek. Conn joins us. Guests: Jordan Ritter Conn, senior staff writer, The Ringer; author, "American Men" Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
